Atlus must be breaking out the champagne right now. Why? Because many of their major properties are breaking through their sales forecasts. And it's not just happening back home in Japan for them - American localizations are also surpassing expectations.
Demon's Souls is the biggest success story, but Atlus have enjoyed success with a number of other properties, too. Find out more after the jump. Read More

Gamestop continues it's pre-order bonus trend. Thankfully, this time it won't affect the game itself. If you pre-order Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey at Gamestop, then you will receive a bonus mini-poster. That is in addition to the soundtrack CD that is already included with the game.
From the press release:
"Some of the best bonus items are the kind you can listen to, hence the soundtrack CD we're including with launch copies of the game," commented Aram Jabbari, Manager of Public Relations and Sales at Atlus. "Still, sometimes you want a bonus item that you can feel, something you can caress gently and hold against your face, something you can take a big whiff of and enjoy. That's what the mini-poster is all about. With its gorgeous aesthetic, courtesy of master artist Kazuma Kaneko, Strange Journey stands out as a unique science fiction RPG experience, and this collectible mini-poster is the perfect way to show your friends that you are onboard for the adventure (and also, that you're better than them)."
This new game in the Shin Megami Tensei series puts players in the role of a solider sent to the South Pole by a UN-Mandated research team. There all hell breaks loose. Expect to get your dungeon crawling on on March 23rd. Read More
